EPISODE 5: THE STAGE OF SINGLENESS IS UNIQUE

Counselling Session With Dr Timi Oyebode At Bethel Institute of Biblical Research Singles Summit,Gbongan,Osun State, Nigeria

Being Single is not a disease; being Single is not a crime. Jesus was Single, we had many Apostles who were Single.

Unfortunately many of us don’t use it well. In the bid that ‘I need to marry (2ce)!’ We forget that, that stage itself, has it’s own virtues.

For example, there is one of my Mentees?(Protégés). Every time she will come and cry to me: Ma, and I would love to follow you. The last time you went to Kano I wanted to follow you. The last time when you went to Abuja and I wanted to follow you.

And the Ticket is free; it’s available! But the thing is, she is married, she has a child, she is still young! (Is she up to twenty five 25?) She is around twenty five (25) Years.

She herself will be saying, that if I was still single (repeatedly).

Can you see? You can’t reverse that! Those are the things that you miss. And some of us, we are still Single, you are not using it!

I used to tell people, my Single age; my husband met me in Ministry (in Campus). Use your singleness well – Get busy; the man, the woman will come. The way they will join you, it will align so well.

But because you are busy first, understand it, this time is limited. Because Singleness is limited, do you know? Worse case, by twenty five (25) to thirty (30); you will be married; maybe for about fifty (50) or sixty (60) Years of your life – It depends on how long you will live.

So you have limited time to be Single, to do serious things for yourself.

We were talking in the car when we were coming, we were talking about our Brother: as a single man had bought a land and built a house, as a single man. Now he got married. Of course, Marriage comes with its own challenges.

Thank God he has has built a house! That is what we were saying in the car. Because now he has some challenges, but he has built a house. But he achieved that when he was single.
